中文简介：

这部儿童书籍由布里塔·特金特鲁普（Britta Teckentrup）编写，是一部关于时间流逝的诗意杰作，讲述了童年、成长、友谊和损失，中心是山丘上一个俯瞰水面的秋千。

“从我记事起，秋千就一直在这个地方，”叙述者说。“我们一起站在这里，望着大海，等待着变化……等待新的东西，等待令人兴奋的东西。但每天都是一样的。”

但随着季节的变化和岁月的流逝，事情确实发生了变化。朋友来了又走，恋人见面又接吻，春去秋来，秋千随着年龄的增长变得吱吱作响。

所有这些变化都通过特金特鲁普标志性的拼贴画华丽地传达出来，这些画采用了柔和明亮的色彩和简单有力的构图。通过其同样引人注目的文字，每个时代的读者将体验到时间是一种温和但不可避免的力量，给人带来新的体验。

随着叙述者年龄和智慧的增长，读者自己也会明白，生命中最重要的记忆永远不会消失。

英文简介：

Britta Teckentrup's latest book for children of every age is a poetic masterpiece about the passage of time. A swing on a hill overlooking the water is at the center of this lovely meditation on childhood, growing older, friendship and loss.

"The swing has always been in this place—ever since I can remember," declares the narrator. "Here we stood together, looking out to sea, waiting for something to change. . . for something new, something exciting. But every day was the same."

But as seasons change and years pass, things do change. Friends come and go, lovers meet and kiss, spring turns to autumn, and the swing set grows creaky with age.

All of these changes are gorgeously communicated by Teckentrup's signature collage paintings that employ soft, radiant colors and simple yet powerful compositions. With its equally compelling text, readers of every age will experience time as a gentle but inescapable force, bringing about new experiences.

And as the narrator grows older and wiser, readers themselves will understand that life's most important memories can never disappear.
